CVE-2024-37036
CVE-2024-37036 is a critical out-of-bounds write vulnerability that can lead to an authentication bypass. This vulnerability is triggered when a malformed POST request is sent with specific configuration parameters set. Despite a high CVSS score of 9.8, SOCRadar's SVRS gives it a score of 30, suggesting the threat is not immediately critical compared to other vulnerabilities actively exploited. However, the 'In The Wild' tag indicates active exploitation is possible. The underlying issue is a CWE-787, which allows attackers to write data outside the intended memory boundaries. This can lead to complete system compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive data. Organizations should investigate configurations for exposure, prioritizing patching based on their specific environment. Though the SVRS is moderate, the potential impact of a successful exploit is severe due to the authentication bypass.
Description
CVE-2024-37036 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that could lead to an authentication bypass. This vulnerability is caused by a malformed POST request and specific configuration parameters. The CVSS score for this vulnerability is 9.8, indicating a critical severity level. However, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 38, indicating a moderate risk level. This discrepancy is due to the SVRS's integration of additional vulnerability intelligence elements, such as social media, news, and dark web data.
Key Insights
